you're the best around - (daniel larusso x oc)

ch.3

"Hey stranger." [Johnny smiles at Scarlette but she just glared and looked away, continuing her way to school. Daniel walked through the gate behind her and stood in the gateway for a moment. The boy from New Jersey examined Johnny Lawrence, a blonde boy just a bit taller than Daniel, who was dressed preppy yet he wore the same red leather jacket that he did the night before. Daniel hadn't witnessed Johnny and Scarlette's fight last night and he had not noticed Scarlette's black eye. Therefore, Daniel Larusso had no idea as to why Scarlette was upset with Johnny] "Scar, please. Can't we just move on?" [Johnny asked, becoming slightly annoyed that Scarlette was ignoring him. Scarlette continues to walk away without looking behind her. Johnny turns his car off and locks it- tossing the keys into the vehicle as he catches up to Scarlette with a small jog. Daniel watches from afar trying not to be seen. Daniel walks his bike just far enough behind the two for nobody to notice]

"Maybe it's this guy's fault Scarlette beat me up yesterday, this guy seems like an asshole." [Daniel thought to himself, already disliking Johnny Lawrence and believing that Scarlette's actions last night might've been at least somewhat justified] "Whatever had happened last night between them must've been why Scarlette didn't want me to stay at the beach around this guy." [Daniel thought as he continued to watch the drama before him]

"Can you just listen to me, Scarlette?" [Johnny asked, becoming annoyed- but he stays persistent]

"Why should I?" [Scarlette finally replies, she stops walking and turns around to face Johnny. Daniel still couldn't see Scarlette's black eye due to how dark his aviators were]

"Because."

"Because what?" [Scarlette's eyebrows pointed and she angrily clenched her teeth and crossed her arms. Daniel really was quite curious as to why she was so upset]

"Because," [Johnny never was very good at explaining things or even knowing why he did something-] "because." [Johnny continued- Scarlette rolls her eyes at Johnny's childish "explanation"]

"He could've at least apologized." [She thought as she spoke to Johnny again, losing some respect for him] "That's not a very good reason, Johnny." [She says, still looking Johnny into the eyes with her arms crossed. She then began walking away from him once more]

"Please." [Johnny steps in front of Scarlette and stops her from continuing to walk, she crosses her arms again]

"Fine Johnny, I'll listen to you after you broke Ali's radio and kicked my ass!" [Scarlette yells with sarcasm, her hair bounces as she stands on her toes with anger. Johnny is frustrated at himself but his "winner" personality won't allow him to apologise to Scarlette and own up to his mistake. Daniel walked his bike much closer to Johnny and Scarlette, he stood stationary and continued to watch] "Now, get the fuck out of my way!" [Scarlette demands]

"Kicked her ass?" [Daniel whispers to himself as Scarlette tries to storm off again but Johnny grabs her arm. She is unable to escape his grasp. Daniel's surprised expression becomes more upset as he sees Scarlette trying to squirm out of Johnny's grasp. Johnny lets go of Scarlette as he hears the noise of Daniel's sunglasses falling to the concrete. The aviators had fallen off of Daniel's face because they were too big and he had blown his cover. Scarlette and Johnny turn around and Daniel sees Scarlette's black eye, it looks worse than his. He nearly gasps and makes his way to Scarlette- letting go of his bike]

"What're you looking at, New Jersey?" [Johnny asked aggressively as he turned to Daniel. Daniel is still a little phased about Scarlette's black eye, he's worried for someone he barely even knows. He wasn't even listening to Johnny, he was too pissed off at him to listen. Scarlette still stood beside Johnny, she wasn't going to hide behind Daniel- she could fend for herself]
